    First build: '79 XS11 Standard Cafe'

    Sure like to see yer build, sounds killer. I designed the stacks and had a friend at work spin them in the CNC. I'm looking to sell but if you're a programmer, I'll see about getting the specs and I could pass them on. I still have them on file somewhere. If interested, I get sets of 6061-T6...

    I thought I'd throw up a few pics of my cafe' project. It's a '79 Yamaha XS1100 Standard that I picked up last year and have been working on since. The bike had a few mods, like 4-1 exhaust and rear-sets but needed some love after sitting for years. I completely blew it apart and started...
